The Biggest Inspiration in my Life
By: Allie B

My soccer coach Ashton is the biggest inspiration in my life. There are many reasons why she has inspired me to persevere, try hard at everything, and never give up. Ashton is one of my biggest role models and I am very lucky to have her as one of my coaches. She also helps by giving me constructive criticism. Ashton is someone I look up to.

Ashton is someone I look up to. She plays for the highest U-18 team in REAL. I would like to play there too sometime. She is very strong and she shows me that you have to work for what you want in life. Now she will play for University of Utah because she got a scholarship in soccer. She showed me that if you try you’re hardest and do your best, you will always succeed in your heart and mind. Another amazing quality about Ashton is that she gets good grades and plays sports. It is good to be in extra-curricular activities and play ports but you also have to get good grades. Ashton does both consistently and I want to be like her when I get older.

Something else Ashton does to inspire me is trying and make me better at soccer. We do a copious amount of skills trainings with her and she teaches us many new skills. She has showed us many new moves that we use in games and she makes us better by constructive criticism. She takes her time to come and teach us the game of soccer. Ashton helps us because she shows us what we are good at and what we need to improve on, it makes us better. She is a great coach that helps us learn the game of soccer. Ashton is always there to help out. She always compliments us on what we succeeded at and notifies us on what we need to work on. This pushes us to try our hardest and it is all thanks to Ashton.

Finally, Ashton always believes in me. Whenever I, or any of my teammates do something the wrong way, she never gives up on us and always believes in us. Even when we think there is no chance to do any thing right, she tells us never to give up. Ashton is an inspiration to me because she loves playing soccer. You can tell because when she plays with us, she always has a smile on her face that makes everyone around her feel like the richest man on Earth after he won the lottery. I’d like to be just like her and incorporate soccer in to my life even when I get older.

These are only a few reasons why Ashton is one of the biggest inspirations in my life. She has great talent, personality, and impact on my life. She also has an impact on my goals for the future. She is one of the greatest impacts on life. I am so lucky to have her as a coach.
